Welcome to Crossbody of Work, a show where we break down a wrestler’s career through five of their biggest matches.
We kick off Japanuary with a look at FMW’s founder and star Atsushi Onita. One of the kings of the deathmatch, we take a look at Onita’s beginnings, his biggest matches, and his craziest moments. We’ve got matches against Terry Funk, Hayabusa, Tarzan Goto, and more. On top of all these matches, Evan & Javier also talk about:
- Bloodsport
- Skiing
- Cheaters
- Outfit consistency
- Country music
And a lot more.
